Usage example: tcc -xc ex5.cgi
From a gcc docs:
You can specify the input language explicitly with the -x option:
-x language
Specify explicitly the language for the following input files
(rather than letting the compiler choose a default based on the file
name suffix). This option applies to all following input files until
the next -x option. Possible values for language are:
c c-header c-cpp-output
c++ c++-header c++-cpp-output
objective-c objective-c-header objective-c-cpp-output
objective-c++ objective-c++-header objective-c++-cpp-output
assembler assembler-with-cpp
ada
f77 f77-cpp-input f95 f95-cpp-input
java
-x none
Turn off any specification of a language, so that subsequent files
are handled according to their file name suffixes (as they are if -x
has not been used at all)
library Cello: http://libcello.org/ which uses `$` and several
variations of as macros.
There is also RayLanguage which also uses it as a macro for a kind of
ObjC style message passing: https://github.com/kojiba/RayLanguage
This is a patch from Daniel Holden.
* define __bound_init as external_global_sym insteed of the compiling
a tiny program
* remove warning about buf[] when CONFIG_TCC_BCHECK is not defined
This is for a case when no '{' is used in the initialization code.
An option name is -fold-struct-init-code. A linux 2.4.26 can't
find initrd when compiled with a new algorithm.
Lets assume that in *.S files a preprocessor directive
follow '#' char w/o spaces between. Otherwise there is
too many problems with the content of the comments.
* tell a right line number in error message
if a #line directive is wrong
* don't print an error message if we preprocess a .S file
and #line directive is wrong. This is the case of
the
# 4026 bytes
comment in *.S file.
* preprocess_skip: skip a line with
if (parse_flags & PARSE_FLAG_ASM_COMMENTS)
p = parse_line_comment(p);
if line starts with # and a preprocessor command not found.
A test program:
#if defined(CONFIG_EDD) || defined(CONFIG_EDD_MODULE)
# This repeats until either a device doesn't exist, or until
#endif
* remove a second definition of the TOK_FLAG_* and PARSE_FLAG_*
from the tccpp.c
* define targetos=Windows when --enable-tcc32-mingw, --enable-cygwin, ...
* use TARGETOS insteed HOST_OS when selecting PROGS
* use "$(tccdir)" insteed $(tccdir) on install (spaces in path)
* install tcc.exe too
* produce bcheck.o when cross-compiling too (lib/Makefile)
* force bcheck.o linking by compiling inside tcc_set_output_type()
a dummy program with local array. Otherwise bcheck.o may be not linked.
* replace %xz format specifier with %p in bcheck (don't supported on
Windows)
* call a __bound_init when __bound_ptr_add, __bound_ptr_indir,
__bound_new_region, __bound_delete_region called.
This is because a __bound_init inside ".init" section is not called
on Windows for unknown reason.
* print on stderr a message when an illegal pointer is returned:
there is no segmentation violation on Windows for a program
compiled with "tcc -b"
* remove "C:" subdir on clean if $HOST_OS = "Linux"
* default CFLAGS="-Wall -g -O0" insteed CFLAGS="-Wall -g -O2"
to speed up compilation and more precise debugging.
- a warning: unnamed struct/union that defines no instances
- allow a nested named struct declaration w/o identifier
only when option -fms-extensions is used
On Linux 32: sizeof(long)=32 == sizeof(void *)=32
on Linux 64: sizeof(long)=64 == sizeof(void *)=64

A test program (must be compiled by the above version of the tcc):
/* Tickle a bug in TinyC on 64-bit systems:

* for no obvious reason.

* Should be: 0x8049620 0x804961c

A non declared function leads to a seriuos problems. And while
gcc don't turn this warning on lets tcc do it. This warning
can be turned off by -Wno-implicit-function-declaration option.
And autor must explicitly do this if program must be compiled
with this warning off.
With this option on a defines are included into the output
(inside comments). This will allow to debug a problems like:
In file included from math.c:8:
In file included from /usr/include/math.h:43:
/usr/include/bits/nan.h:52: warning: NAN redefined
tcc -E -P
do not output a #line directive, a gcc compatible option
tcc -E -P1
don't follow a gcc preprocessor style and do output a standard
#line directive. In such case we don't lose a location info when
we going to compile a resulting file wtith a compiler not
understanding a gnu style line info.
libtcc.c: Add greloca, a generalisation of greloc that takes an addend.
tcc.h: Add greloca and put_elf_reloca.
tccelf.c: Add put_elf_reloca, a generalisation of put_elf_reloc.
tccgen.c: On x86_64, use greloca instead of greloc in init_putv.
Add a ".i" extension as alias for ".c"
GCC and file extensions:
.i C source code which should not be preprocessed.
Before a patch:
./tcc -E tccasm.c -o tccasm.i
./tcc -c tccasm.i -o tccasm.o
tccasm.i:1: error: unrecognized file type
This for example suppresses string constants such as with
int main()
{
return sizeof "foo";
}
Actually, setting
nocode_wanted = 1;
in libtcc.c for the initial global level seemed wrong, since
obviously "nocode_wanted" means code as any side effects, also
such as string constants.
This reverts a part of 2de1b2d14c
(documented as "Some in-between fixes" in Changelog)
- revert to R_X86_64_PC32 for near calls on PE
- revert to s1->section_align set to zero by default
Untested. Compared to release_0_9_26 the pe-image looks back to
normal. There are some differences in dissassembly (r10/r11 usage)
but maybe that's ok.
- remove -norunsrc switch
Meaning and usage (-run -norun...???) look sort of screwed. Also
general usefulness is unclear, so it was actually to support exactly
one (not even very interesting) test
This partially reverts e31579b076
Refactoring (no logical changes):
- use memcpy in tccgen.c:ieee_finite(double d)
- use union to store attribute flags in Sym
Makefile: "CFLAGS+=-fno-strict-aliasing" basically not necessary
anymore but I left it for now because gcc sometimes behaves
unexpectedly without.
Also:
- configure: back to mode 100755
- tcc.h: remove unused variables tdata/tbss_section
- x86_64-gen.c: adjust gfunc_sret for prototype
- tccgen: error out for cast to void, as in
void foo(void) { return 1; }
This avoids an assertion failure in x86_64-gen.c, also.
also fix tests2/03_struct.c accordingly
- Error: "memory full" - be more specific
- Makefiles: remove circular dependencies, lookup tcctest.c from VPATH
- tcc.h: cleanup lib, include, crt and libgcc search paths"
avoid duplication or trailing slashes with no CONFIG_MULTIARCHDIR
(as from 9382d6f1a0)
- tcc.h: remove ";{B}" from PE search path

"... I'm not sure this is the right way to fix this problem."
And the answer is: No, please. (copying libtcc1.a for tests instead)
- win32/build_tcc.bat: do not move away a versioned file
Wrap runtime_main as per its declaration in tcc.h.
Fix preprocessor check for TCC_ARM_EABI macro definition.
